FINALS UPDATE: Game 5 of the Finals adjusted up to 7.6, tying Game 4 as a series high. HBO got a nice finale spike out of Game of Thrones (4.14), which nearly got all the way back to the series high for the season premiere (4.19 on 4/12/15). GoT had been down year-to-year since the halfway point of the season, but this point was 9% above last year's finale.

Sports dominated another three nights of broadcast primetime:

On Friday, the second USA match in the Women's World Cup averaged a preliminary 1.5 for Fox from 8:00 to 10:00. It should be up from the USA opener last Monday on Fox Sports 1 (1.28).

Saturday saw the NHL return to NBC (1.5) after moving to NBCSN for a couple games. The prelim for Game 5 was slightly below last Saturday's preliminary 1.7.

And Sunday had Game 5 of the NBA Finals on ABC. The 6.2 preliminary 18-49 average from 8:00 to 11:00 was just barely above the average in the same period last Sunday. The household overnight hit another new series high 14.2.

In entertainment land, Golan the Insatiable (0.6) and American Odyssey (0.5) inched up from last week's lows. ABC has some premieres next week!
